This invention relates generally to an im- .provement in dolls.

resilient walls and provided with a duct leading to and terminating inan open end at the lips of the figure. With this construction the act ofkissing can be closelyslmulated by compressing the chamber, then inpressing the lips of the doll to a soft surface, such as the cheek of achild, then in portion 5 is provided with an air chamber 6 Cal ' andprovided with-a duct 7 leading up-c releasing pressure on the container,and then in removing the lips of the doll from the yielding surface,whereupon air will rush into the opening between the lips of the dolland produce a sibilant sound simulating the.

sound of a kiss. a

Other features of the invention Wlll be hereinafter referred to.

V In the drawings, .inwhich a preferred embodiment of the invention hasbeen selectr device is simple and includes the whollyv 1 natural act ofexerting pressure on the torso ed for illustration 1 I Figure 1 shows aview in front elevation .of a portion of a doll embodying the invention'Figure 2 is a view in transverse vertical section of the parts shown inFigure 1.

Referring to the drawings for a more detaileddescription of theinvention, a doll is shown in which a relatively flexible body formedof'resilient material, such as rubber,
